What are the differences between a flight and a bus for border runs to Thailand, and can I obtain a 60-day visa by land?
Hey guys I have 3 questions: 1) for border runs is there a difference between a flight out of the country and just going by bus? 2) can you get a 60 visa from going across by land?3) what do I need for them?
Thank you, you guys have made coming to Thailand and staying easy as pie.

thank you on thats what I needJames ********
@Kaleb *******
you are allowed a maximum of two border crossings by land in a calendar year. If allowed to enter you would be stamped in for 30 days as visa exempt arrival and can be extended 30 days at a Thai immigration for 1,900 Thai baht.Person *******

thank you for putting that out. In my head I thought I said flight out vs by bus out.Person *******
OP@James *******
I was your a land visa run was different from a flight out of the countryRobert *******
1. You need a passport from a Nationality that allows you to come into Thailand if you do not have a multiple entry visa. 2. Maximum you can get is a 30 day Visa Exempt Entry, but this depends on the nationality of your passport. 3. your passport.

OPIs there a place in Bangkok that setup these land border runs?
Robert *******
You got this part on arrival and should be in your passport.

OPSo I need this before or after the border run?
Robert *******
Part of the arrival/departure card you filled in at arrival. Arrival part is taken of on entry and the departure part is taken on departure.

OPWhat is tm6? ??
Robert *******
In that case, only your passport with TM 6 departure card. You get 30 day Visa Exempt Entry, be aware you can only do this twice a calendar year.
